Our raw-materials section also includes an industrial solvent and glycol group: IPA (isopropyl alcohol), ethyl acetate, acetone, diethylene glycol (DEG), monoethylene glycol (MEG) and monopropylene glycol (MPG). This article summarises the group at a glance. Packaging, quantity and grade are confirmed in the quotation.
Classic solvents: IPA, ethyl acetate and acetone
- IPA (isopropyl alcohol): Also known as isopropanol and 2-propanol. It is a colourless, volatile liquid. It is used for surface cleaning, degreasing, and thinning inks and coatings.
- Ethyl acetate: An ester-based, fast-evaporating solvent. It is common in coating, ink and adhesive formulations.
- Acetone: The everyday name of propanone. It is a ketone solvent used for cleaning, degreasing and thinning resins and coatings.
Glycols: DEG, MEG and MPG
- Diethylene glycol (DEG): A hygroscopic (moisture-holding) glycol. It is used in resins, inks and various industrial formulations.
- Monoethylene glycol (MEG): Also called ethylene glycol. It is used in antifreeze, polyester resins and industrial formulations.
- Monopropylene glycol (MPG): Also called 1,2-propylene glycol. It is used in resins, coatings and industrial formulations.
